Project Description

Our capacity to assess the threat of climate change is undermined by an unacceptable level ofuncertainty in the understanding and modelling of regional climates. The Centre will undertakeworld-class research targeting identified weaknesses in the physical, chemical and biologicalcomponents of the climate system. We will engage and nurture graduate students and postdoctoralfellows through a program of graduate training and mentoring to permanently transform ourunderstanding of climate system science particularly for the Australian region. The key outcomewill be a dramatic enhancement in national capacity to understand and project the scale of futureregional climate change.
